More than any other team, the Habs play an important role in the identity, economy, and culture of their home town and province.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in \u003cem\u003eThe Montreal Canadiens: Rethinking a Legend\u003c\/em\u003e offer a panoramic view of this influence. What were the connections between the Maurice Richard Riot of 1955 and Quebec’s Quiet Revolution? Can we say that loyalty to the team constitutes a religion for its fans? How is corporatization affecting how Quebecers connect with their beloved team? Featuring a wide range of writing on \u003cem\u003eLe Grand Club\u003c\/em\u003e and its social significance, the book offers a fresh and fascinating perspective on one of Canada’s greatest sports teams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142968918256,"sku":"9781442617506","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442617506_p0.jpg?v=1763809653","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442617506","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
